Getting older has never been hotter than now. More than ever, women in their 50s, 60s and older are looking better than ever. No one says you have to stick to the worn, old granny hairstyles of decades back. Learn how to be a stylish mature woman by sporting a hairstyle that accentuates your face and helps to take the years off your complexion.

First things first – you no longer have to be afraid of going gray. Oftentimes the worst senior hairstyles are those that have obviously been dyed a different color. Unless you’re extremely fortunate, chances are you’re going to develop a lot of gray hair as you get older. Instead of trying to hide it or fake being a different hair color altogether, many senior women are embracing their grays as sexy silver-haired foxes.

For senior women with a head full of gray hairs, you can easily have your hair dyed a uniformly flattering gray or silver shade. This will create a great shock of color that is gorgeous and will make you stand out from any crowd – in a good way. With your hair color set, you can choose a cut and style that will bring out the best in your grays.

By being comfortable with gray hair, you can bring about a sense of confidence that will make any hairstyle look great on you. If you prefer to dye your hair, then opt for a color that is a few shades lighter than your current color. This will help disguise new gray hairs and prevent telltale roots from cropping up among your new color.

Another way your hair can take the years off your face is to add bangs. Be sure to choose the proper bang length for your face shape. Even sporting short, wispy bangs can take years off your complexion and give you a youthful appearance. Want something dramatic? Then opt for a sexy pixie cut, but make sure your face shape will complement your cut.

Oval face shapes can pull off this look and just about any other type of hairstyle. When done right, a pixie cut can make any senior face look softer or enhance sharp features in a positive way. The pixie cut is perfect for seniors that don’t want to spend a lot of time fussing with their hair or using a ton of hair care products.

Not sure you can commit to having shorter hair? Then get together with a professional hair stylist and look into getting long, soft layers. This style looks especially great for seniors with strong or sharp features. When framed around the face, the layered look can bring a whole new look to your face. Additionally, longer layers allow for more flexibility in styles, from curls to waves and even a messy bun.

Looking for a happy medium? Then try out the bob. This hairstyle looks great on seniors and is fairly low maintenance. Sporting a bob hairstyle looks best when paired with sexy bangs. Because the style isn’t too long or too short, you can still play around with wearing it different ways or using hair accessories. Additionally, this style doesn’t require a lot of hair care products to keep it looking great.
